In May 2025, delivered a focused bug fix in codefresh-io/argo-cd that ensures Resource Reference Versioning in Parent References by adding a Version field to appv1.ResourceRef when constructing parent references, addressing missing version information in parentRef API responses. This change improves the accuracy of resource relationships, enhances API reliability for clients, and reduces downstream errors caused by incomplete version data. The update is tied to commit 299286dea140bb15825b0059281f97821e1cd5e8 with message 'fix: app tree parentRef response missing version info (#22927)'.

Fixed a key naming typo by updating resource customization keys from 'group-kind' to 'group_kind', aligning with the expected format and preventing misconfigurations. This change was committed as part of the cleanup work (#22074).

Month: 2024-10. This month delivered a governance and observability enhancement for ArgoCD promotions by adding ArgoCD application details to promotion events. The feature extracts and serializes ArgoCD app information from promotion steps, enabling precise tracking of which ArgoCD apps are affected by each promotion, improving auditability, traceability, and faster incident response. There were no major bugs fixed in this period; the focus was on delivering and stabilizing the feature and preparing for metrics/dashboards. This work lays the foundation for better governance and measurable promotion impact across projects.
